Creme De Menthe
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 c Water
1 1/2 c Vodka or gin
1 ts Mint flavor
1/4 ts Green food coloring
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 c Water
1 1/2 c Vodka or gin
1 ts Mint flavor
1/4 ts Green food coloring
In a 4-cup measure or large bowl combine sugar and water. Microwave at high 4 to 5 minutes, or until boiling. Boil 5 minutes. Watch closely; stir if necessary to prevent boilover.
Cool to room temperature. Skim any foam from top. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Pour into bottle; cap. Let stand in a cool, dark place 1 month before serving. Shake bottle occasionally to mix.
I have a microwave cookbook that has some recipes for making liqueurs and things. Here is one that I have tried... I'll let you know in a month how it tastes ;)
